Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing 19-year-old Manchester United offensive prospect Omari Forson.
Omari Forson is highly rated across the country, and Newcastle United are hoping to secure his services at the end of the season. The 19-year-old will be out of contract in the summer, and Manchester United have not been able to secure an extension yet. Newcastle are looking to take advantage of the situation and sign him as a free agent as per HITC.
It will be interesting to see if Newcastle United can convince the 19-year-old winger to join them. The Magpies need more quality and depth in the attack. The teenage sensation could be a solid long-term acquisition for them, especially on a free transfer.
They could help Forson develop into a quality Premier League winger with the right guidance. Newcastle United need more quality in the wide areas, and Forson will add pace and flair to their attack.
Regular football at Newcastle United could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential. It is unlikely that he will get ample first-team opportunities at Manchester United even if he stays, although he recently started against Fulham. It will be interesting to see what the young winger decides.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are eager to extend his contract and keeping him at the club. He is highly rated within the club, and the Red Devils do not want to lose him as a free agent. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Omari Forson must decide what is best for him
The 19-year-old must focus on his development and choose the option that is best served for him. If Newcastle United are prepared to provide him with came time assurances, a moved to St. James’ Park would be ideal for him.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need more depth in the wide areas as well. Antony and Jadon Sancho have been largely underwhelming, and the Red Devils could use alternatives. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to give the 19-year-old more first team opportunities next season.
He has been an important player for their youth team this season, scoring seven goals and picking up three assists across all competitions. The youngster has the potential to develop into a quality Premier League winger with the right guidance and he needs to make the right decision with regards to his future now.
